Jack

Here's what one of our volunteers has to say about Jack:<br/>"Jack loves to survey the goings-on in his catio from one of the perches on the cat tree. Once he spots the affection and treats going on in his kingdom, he comes right down to partake. Once he figured out the scene, he absolutely loves to have his neck and head scratched. Jack is a sweet boy, quiet but friendly with the other cats, interested in everything, including figuring out the magic of the boogie mat! "<br/><br/>Looking to adopt a kitten? Consider 2!

They'll also teach each other good boundaries about biting and scratching. Read about biting behaviors in kittens and how having a playmate can help!<br/><br/>Entertain & Enrich - When your kitten has a buddy, they'll always be entertained, active, and enriched. And a happy cat makes a happy home!<br/><br/>Keep Out of Trouble - One mischievous kitten can be destructive if left alone, but two kittens tend to keep each other occupied and out of trouble.<br/><br/>Easier Intro to Adult Cat - If you have an adult cat at home, two new kittens may be easier to introduce into your family than one. While one kitten may nag an older cat, two kittens will keep each other company while the older cat watches from a distance.<br/><br/>Comfort in Friendship - Having a pal will help your kitten settle into a new home. Just like humans, kittens have an easier time feeling comfortable trying something new if they've got a friend to do it with them.<br/><br/>Bonded Pair Adoption - It's easier to adopt a bonded pair than it is to introduce a new cat later. Adopting a dynamic duo ensures that you'll have a harmonious home for years to come!<br/><br/>It's Like I Always Say: One Kitten is Half a Kitten. Two Kittens Are a Whole!<br/><br/>If you're set on adopting only one kitten, I recommend doing so only if you do have another playful cat in the home already. A kitten can certainly adapt to life with a young cat, and will benefit from the feline mentorship. However, I strongly advise against adopting a solo kitten into a home with no one for them to befriend!<br/><br/>*Kitten adoption fees are $100 per kitten and includes spay/neuter, microchip, up to date on vaccines, and up to date on preventatives. $25 off applies to adopting two kittens at the same time; do not have to be from the same litter.<br/><br/>TO ADOPT ME:<br/><br/>1.
